Watertown actress Jill Craig will be a featured dancer in a musical production by Savoyard Light Opera Company in Carlisle on Nov. 14 and 21. See details in the announcement provided by the Savoyard Light Opera.
The Savoyard Light Opera Company is proud to present “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying,” the musical and comedic satire of corporate culture and the ruthless pursuit of success. Can the Voice of a Book tell you all you need to know about getting to the top of the executive ladder? A young window washer hopes so, in this rags-to-riches story, set in 1961. Memorable characters, a funny story line, and satisfying classic Broadway numbers will keep you wildly entertained, while you contemplate all that has changed — and not changed — about power dynamics and ambition.
The stage director is Kendra Thyne, with music direction by Barry Singer and choreography by Amy Nosowitz. The talented near-professional cast includes Jill Craig of Watertown, who is a featured dancer and who portrays a secretary for the World Wide Wicket Company in 1961. How to Succeed features former news correspondent, and host of Phantom Gourmet, Dave Robichaud as the Voice of the Book. The Savoyard Light Opera Company has presented quality musicals with live orchestras in Carlisle since 1988.
Performances of “How to Succeed” will be Fridays November 14 & 21 at 7:30 p.m., Saturdays November 15 at 7:30 p.m. and 22 at 4:00 p.m.; and Sunday, November 16 at 2:00 p.m., at the Corey Auditorium on Church Street, Carlisle, MA.
